Chapter 205 Gem
After Nicole quietly listened to his bragging, she finally brought up the most important question. “Did you send someone just to deliver the jewelry?”
Triton, too, calmed down when he caught the serious tone she was speaking in. “Mhm.” He nodded. “Because of how precious this piece of jewelry is. Not only because I was the one who designed it, the gems on it are extremely expensive as well. I sent my assistant to keep an eye on it.”
Nicole had also seen that piece of jewelry. There was a large pink diamond in the middle, which alone was worth hundreds of millions. It was also the biggest pink diamond in the world. Because of this, this piece of jewelry was being promoted as the main piece by Triton Studio this year.
There were also numerous diamonds of different sizes embedded around the pink one. The pink diamond probably was the main reason the jewelry had a youthful look to it. This was also why Nicole wanted to borrow this specific piece from Triton.
“You don’t have to be so nervous about it. The Gardners have a huge family business. They can afford paying for it even if they were to lose it,” Nicole said half-jokingly.
However, Triton didn’t sound pleased at all after hearing her joke.
“This is not just about money. This is a work of art. Our years of friendship will come to an end if it really ends up being misplaced!”
Nicole quickly apologized when she heard that. “Okay, okay. I’ve said too much, Mr. Grant. I will make sure the jewelry gets back to you in one piece!”
Seeing how sincere she was at admitting her fault, Triton proceeded to disclose something to her.
“A member of the royal family wants to wear this in June. There cannot be any losses or damages.”
Nicole couldn’t help but freeze when she heard that. In normal circumstances, the first person to wear such jewelry would be the hotter topic of conversation. She didn’t expect him to give her such an opportunity.
Concerned, she asked, “Will it be alright?”
Upon hearing her worried tone, Triton let out a chuckle, “It’s fine. She can choose not to wear it if she minds it.”
So this was the confidence of someone with actual capability.
Nicole continued to chat with Triton for a while. Due to how valuable the jewelry was, there was no need for Nicole’s side to keep up with its maintenance. Triton’s assistant would be the one to handle the whole process by the time. Other than the time Wendy would put it on, the piece of jewelry would be taken care of by his assistant.
Near the end of their phone call, Triton let out a deep sigh and whined, “If it isn’t because I have too many things happening that I can’t get away from, I would definitely be keeping my eyes on the jewelry myself!”
“Alright.” Nicole giggled. “I will come find you when I am done with my business in the country. We have to have a get-together then!”
The two of them didn’t further exchange pleasantries, and they hung up when they were done talking.
Nicole then took a look at the details of the jewelry that Triton sent her. After peering at it for a long minute, she eventually turned to her own design.
The design draft was to be handed in tomorrow. Looking at the draft in her hand, she thought that she would just make a few minor tweaks. She would have to wait until Wendy was done choosing a design before telling her about the jewelry. That would seem like a fair thing for Nicole to do.
Otherwise, as long as this piece of jewelry was here, she had a feeling that Wendy would choose her design over Joanna’s no matter how Joanna’s might turn out.
Nicole didn’t want Joanna to think that she had won with anything but her capability.
After the lunch break, Colton suddenly arrived at Nicole’s office when she was about to get off work.
She took her time to look at the tall stature of the man in front of her, and how his handsome face was slightly tense as his lips were tightly pressed together into a straight line. Even though he was wearing a smart, well-fitted suit, he somehow looked a little worn-out.
Standing up, Nicole took a few steps toward him until she was standing in front of him. “Is something wrong, President Gardner?” she asked.
The man reacted by nodding with a frown on his face. He even looked as if he was troubled by something.
Nicole couldn’t help but wonder if her eyes had gone bad, because what could possibly make Colton look so unsettled?
